These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.
Modelled profile
Dry incense and vetiver dusted with a strange, milky mango sweetness, arid and papery like sun-warmed skin. It's warm and meditative, a desert-toned haze that stays close and mysterious.

How Timbuktu smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Timbuktu reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
